- What you are about to hear are real documented accounts
of paranormal phenomena at schools from around the globe.
You may want to keep the lights on for this one.
Here are 10 creepy haunted schools that actually exist.
Number 10 is Pocatello, Poky, High School.
Pocatello or Poky High School in Pocatello, Idaho
is considered to be one of the most haunted schools
in all of America.
After the school was emptied for Christmas break
on December 19th, 2014, footage from the school's
surveillance cameras confirmed suspicions
that something otherworldly was in the building.
Creepy footage was found of Poky's empty hallways
showing the lights turning on and off at random
before a ghostly figure emerges from a doorway
and walks into the hall.
Then the hall's lights go dark again.
Students and staff alike have claimed to see
mysterious shadows and heard ghostly voices
in the auditorium, change rooms and hallways.
Paranormal investigators called in by the school
discovered that the school burned to the ground
in 1914, before it was reopened in 1918.
A total of six people have died in that school,
including a boy who drowned in the pool.
And there have been claims that a group of girls
may have carried out a suicide pact there.
Kind of makes you want to do more research
on the schools that you attend doesn't it?
Number nine is Fordham University.
Fordham University in The Bronx, New York
was founded in 1841 and built its Rose Hill Campus
on the land of a former hospital.
The school is thought to have dozens
of permanent ghostly guests.
Within the Martyrs' Court Dorms
a blonde girl and child's laughter have been witnessed.
Sleeping students in Finely Hall
have been nearly choked to death by a cold, invisible hand.
There's also reports of a wandering boy in Hughes Hall,
a cigar smoking ghost in the administration building
and the spirit of a worker killed during renovations.
But the worst is Keating Hall,
which was built over the former
medical building's morgue tunnels.
There have been countless reports of cold spots,
shadowy figures and feelings of being watched
and even touched.
There are also countless reports of doors being slammed
and chairs being thrown against the wall and down stairs.
Which might make a lot more sense as to why scenes
from the movie The Exorcist were filmed at Fordham.
Number eight is Nagasaki University.
Nagasaki University in Nagasaki, Japan
is the country's national university.
It was officially established in 1949,
but the university's medical school
was founded in 1857.
The haunting of this establishment is to believed
to have happened because of one of the second World War's
most catastrophic events.
On August 9th, 1945, an atomic bomb was dropped
on the city by the United States Army.
Upwards of 80,000 people were killed in that attack.
This school was located only 600 meters
from the bomb's epicenter and was nearly entirely destroyed.
Over 800 students, medical workers and professionals
were on campus at the time and lost their lives.
Given the horrific way that they died,
it's not so surprising that many of the souls
are still wandering the campus.
Which was restored in 1950.
Over 70 years later, countless students, staff
and visitors have reported hearing bone chilling
screams and cries, as well as smelling burning flesh.
Which is always worse on the anniversary of the attack.
Number seven is Heidelberg University, Germany.
Heidelberg University in Germany was founded in 1386,
and is the country's oldest university.
But this respected place of higher learning
had a dark period during the second World War.
Like all other universities in Germany at the time,
they supported the Nazi regime.
On May 17th, 1933, staff and students burned books
at the University Square.
Now on the anniversary you can still smell burning leather.
But even worse, was the school's involvement
in Nazi eugenics.
The plan to wipe out an entire population of people
to make way for the Aryan race.
In the school's labs women underwent forced sterilization
and their ghostly cries are still heard within the clinics.
Two of the schools Jewish professors were killed
during the Holocaust,
but their ghosts are said to still visit
their old classrooms.
They're even known to erase chalkboards
or leave messages overnight.
Even when all of the halls and doors have been locked.
Number six is the University of Cambridge.
The University of Cambridge was founded in 1209,
and is the second oldest university in England.
It's also home to the Ghost Club,
Britain's oldest paranormal investigation group
which was founded there in 1855.
At Corpus Christi College the ghost
of Vice Chancellor Henry Butts began stalking the hallways
after he hanged himself in the office in 1632.
Students have even held exorcisms to get rid of him
but with no luck.
But by far, the university's most famous
otherworldly resident is the ghost of Oliver Cromwell.
The former Lord Protector of the Commonwealth
died back in 1658,
but was so hated that in 1661 his body
was hung from chains and even beheaded.
His head, which was put on a pole outside Westminster Abbey
for 20 years, was later buried under the antechapel
at Sidney Sussex College.
It's said that his ghostly head has been floating
around campus and appearing in windows,
probably looking for the rest of his body.
Number five is the University of Toronto.
The University of Toronto in Canada
is one of the most haunted places in the country.
In 1870, Robert Christie, the wealthy owner
of the Christie Mansion on campus
was having an illicit affair.
He kept his mistress locked in a secret chamber
hidden behind his library,
the infamous Room 29.
The girl became so depressed that she committed suicide
by hanging herself with bedsheets.
The room was later converted into a study
and now, if a woman enters the room alone at night,
the door will slam shut and can only be opened
from the other side.
The ghost of the mansion Ivan Reznikoff
began haunting the grounds in the 1850s
after he was killed by his rival, Paul Diablos.
They were fighting over a woman when Reznikoff
tried to kill Diablos with an ax.
But Diablos stabbed him to death
and hid his body in a ventilation shaft.
Reznikoff is still seen in the quad late at night.
Number four is the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
Chung Chi College at the Chinese University of Hong Kong
in Shatin, Hong Kong is home to the ghost
of a mysterious faceless woman.
Male students are warned against walking home alone
late at night along The Single Braid Road
if they want to avoid upsetting the wandering spirit.
The road itself runs next to the campus
and near railroad tracks and the university train station.
The ghostly woman is said to have a single longe braid
and will draw up next to unsuspecting men.
But it's said that when they turn to speak
to the mysterious girl,
they're met with the terrifying presence
of the bloody, faceless woman.
It's believed that the ghost belongs to a woman
who had escaped to Hong Kong from Mainland China
with her boyfriend.
The couple had hidden on a train
and her boyfriend successfully jumped from it.
However, when the girl tried to jump from the moving car,
her braid got caught and ripped her face from her head.
To this day she's seen wandering the campus
and haunting male students.
Number three is Ateneo De Manila University.
Ateneo De Manila University in Quezon City, Philippines
was founded in 1859.
During World War II the country was occupied
by the Japanese Army and the university was used
as a military camp.
The ghosts of Japanese servicemen are still seen
outside the dormitories smoking cigarettes
and patrolling the halls.
But the most haunted site on campus
is the Department of Communications building.
One evening after the janitor had cleaned the empty building
and was about to lock up,
the security guard asked to use the washroom.
When the guard returned the janitor checked the washroom
and found the walls and floor streaked
with the hand prints made from human blood.
He confronted him but the guard had no idea
what he was talking about.
But when he returned to leave the janitor saw a hand print
on the back of the guard's uniform.
There's even rumors that there's a portal to another realm
hidden within the building.
Number two is Gujarat Technical University.
Gujarat Technical University in Ahmedabad, India
was only established in 2007,
but they still have their share of ghosts.
In the summer of 2013 administrative staff
as well as members of the security team
began hearing what sounded like the cries of a woman.
But when they went to investigate the cause of the noise
they found no one.
But over time the ghost became more upset and active.
The staff claimed that doors would open and slam closed
on their own and that they could hear
furniture being moved and thrown.
However, nothing was ever out of place.
The hauntings got so bad that employees started to take
leaves of absence due to nerves and extreme fear.
One security guard reported that he felt
the ghost's presence while in an elevator
and reportedly was never the same again.
No one knows what brought the ghost to the university
but the higher-ups who tried to keep the stories quiet
still met with a priest and tried to get rid of it
for good, but failed.
And number one is St. Andrews University.
St. Andrews University in Scotland
is home to two of the country's most infamous spirits.
The ghostly monk and the white lady.
They appear in the ruins of the university's
medieval cathedral and graveyard.
The ghostly monk, dressed in full monk robes,
has been seen by the visitors climbing up St. Rule's Tower.
This robed ghost is actually helpful,
asking visitors if they need help
and ensures that they find safe passage.
Then there's the white lady,
who's described as having long hair
and wears a long white dress.
She's known to float across the grounds
before disappearing near the haunted tower.
It's believed that she's the ghost of a young woman
whose body was found by stonemasons in 1868.
The men were working to restore part of the church
when they found a concealed room in the haunted tower
filled with coffins.
The only open coffin contained the perfectly intact
body of a beautiful young woman
dressed in a white, silk dress.
But that's all for this episode.
